A I^ew Uncapping- Macliine.— Tlie British Bee Journal has the followingconcerning this new invention, and think-ing that Americans would like to see an en-graving as well as description of it, we re-produce the article and illustration : Since Count Zorzi first introduced an un-capping macliine, there have been severalothers introduced to bee-keepers, but tlieobjection to most of them has been thatthey were either too expensive, or that theydid not work satisfactorily. They have inconsequence not come into use, and to be-come general they must come down in price,like extractors have done. The knife-ma-. chines intended to uncap both sides at oneoperation, are either noisy, or, unless theknives are kept as sharp as razors, they tearthe combs. The first improvement in theright direction was the substitution of arevolving cylinder having projecting pointsin it something like the cylinder of a barrel-organ. It was introduced by M. Prochask,in 1886, and was illustrated In the DeutscheIllustricrte Bicncnzeitung of July of thatyear. The cylinder was vertical, and thecomb which was fixed in a frame waspushed past it,much in the same way as theframe is pushed past the knives in patent machine. M. Peter Wagner, of Kreuzstatten, hasjust brought out an improvement which,while simplifying the machine, also re-duces its cost. It will be seen by referringto the illustration, that the apparatus con-sists of a square tin can, from which theside f is removed to show the interior. Thecomb to be uncapped is placed into the up-right frame, d d, which slides up and downth
